Liked to make different shapes of items (lamps, tables, etc.) No straight, more sculptural

Passed a lot of pictures around the meeting attendees (variety of furniture & items, including Danish modern, Asian influenced, etc.)

By making the variety of shapes, the light plays of a lot of different angles and is more interesting. Alternating shadow lines

In order to cut out for large lamp.

Cut in half, Rout out hole for cord, then glued back together

Put wood on block to tilt wood, then cut it out

Band saw is 26 inches and over 100 years old

Made out of Cherry, 10” wide, 1-3/4” thick

Got wood in Chichester, just across Commodore Barry Bridge, Delaware Valley Supply. Good prices of hardwood

He said that he believes that if you make a mistake on something, you just sell it at a lower price

Used Watco finish, about 5 coats. Seals it pretty well if it is a closed-pore wood. If open-pore, it won’t seal it enough

Bok Read

Mike talked about a widow – husband had incredible collection of tools

Giant dust collector

Large Compressor

Eight routers (3 of them trim)

Tons of supplies (sandpaper, router bits, etc.)

In conjunction with tool sale in Nov, Mike will price & bring them

Jim wanted to talk about a tool sale next month (November)

Should be a tool auction

Salman said Mark Showers suggested maybe bring some of the wood up for auction that the email sent out discussed

Mike has volunteered to be the auctioneer

10% of profit to the club

People bring tools and mark minimum price on it (i.e. where the bidding will start)

Open discussion on whether to invite other clubs to participate

Decision not to open to outside clubs for this month (maybe future tool sales)

Voted to invite the turners to sometime in the future for our Fine Woodworking presentation

Kevin D asked for permission to put chapter on Meetup. Group approved. Some folks did not want to be emailed or included on the site. Salman will send out email requesting who wants to be included on site
